Answer:

<em>Hamburgers = 27</em>

<em>Sodas = 93</em>

Explanation:

Let        x = Hamburgers

             y= Sodas

Now form a system of equation aX + bY = C

where

a= 1.75 = coefficient of variable X

b= 0.75 = coefficient of variable Y

C= 117.50

Put these values in above equation

           1.75x + 0.75y = 117.50 . . . . . (1)

Since I sold total of 120 hamburgers and sodas, we can write

            x + y = 120  . . . . . (2)

or          y = 120 - x          ....... put this value in eq.1

           1.75x + 0.75( 120 - x ) = 117.50

           1.75x + 90 - 0.75x = 117.50

            90 + x = 117.50

             x = 117.50 - 90

             x = 27     .......... put this in equation 2

     

          x + y = 120

          27 + y = 120

          y = 120 - 27

           y = 93

Answer:

<em><u>The manufacturer of the toaster would argue from the point of view of the warranty offered for the toaster.</u></em> In most electronic products, the manufacturer offers warranty ranging from 1 year to 5 years.

<em>For the toaster to have worked for more than 20 years without any problem shows that it was a good product. And, the warranty must have expired hence the need not to be held responsible for whatever happened to it.</em>

C. A decrease in the money supply

Nearly 700 banks failed in waning months of 1929 and more than 3,000 collapsed in 1930. Federal deposit insurance was as-yet unheard of, so when the banks failed, people lost all their money. Some people panicked, causing bank runs as people desperately withdrew their money, forcing more banks to close. By the end of the decade, more than 9,000 banks had failed. Surviving institutions, unsure of the economic situation and concerned for their own survival, became unwilling to lend money. This exacerbated the situation, leading to less and less spending.
